It looks like a light show, but there was a lot that went behind the making of design director Bradley G. Munkowitz’s (a.k.a. GMUNK) interpretation of our logo: http://adobe.ly/GMUNK. Join us as we sit down to talk about his inspiration and how he went about playing with the different light properties. And, don’t be shy. We’re taking questions. Share below now or during the hangout. Our moderator, Karl Isaac, our director of Brand Strategy & Innovation, will be taking your questions.
About Adobe Remix
We invited a select group of creatives to express what Adobe means to them through their work. We asked them to play, experiment, hack, make, socialize, datafy, dimensionalize, illustrate, and mashup our logo any way they see fit as part of the Adobe logo remix – placing their mark on our mark: https://www.behance.net/adoberemix.

- *Your photos must be a shot that uses leading lines.* We will leave some room for interpretation of the theme, but if you think your photo has a very vague link to the theme then please justify/explain in the description/comments or we will just delete it if we don't understand the link.
- *Entries close 31th July,* so plenty of time to try stuff out and build ideas. You can post ideas on the community page in Photo Challenge Feedback section (minimum three photos/edits) to get early feedback if you wish.

_All Habitual Light Catchers community members are automatically invited to these monthly events but this is the first time we are making the events open to the public. So book your place and feel free to invite other photographers. *+1 and share the event*_
Leading lines is a powerful technique for drawing the eye to a particular part of a photo and when used effectively can be used to bring out a striking message in an image. It can be applied to almost any genre of photography, which is why we are looking for strong leading lines photos from all types of techniques. Here's just a few of the links that inspired us for this month's challenge: http://erickimphotography.com/blog/2013/10/16/street-photography-composition-lesson-4-leading-lines/
http://www.lightstalking.com/leading-lines-as-a-compositional-tool-for-better-photographs
http://121clicks.com/tutorials/elements-of-composition-the-magic-of-leading-lines
This challenge is designed to test your creativity and your ability to capture a striking leading lines shots, and give you a chance to practice photo composition.
There are no limits to exposure, shutter speeds or camera type so you can be as creative as you like. As always we want to create a great collection of images that the public and members can vote on and show their appreciation by +1ing and commenting.
Lots of great ideas have been coming in about future challenges, so thank you to all who have helped build these ideas. Any further ideas are always welcome, if possible with example images/links to use for event theme image.
Enjoy and have fun, @114291588670916892236

On the show +Kerry-Ann Lecky Hepburn will share how she got started in astrophotography, explain her fabulous setup and show a few of her favourite deep sky images, (you don't want to miss this!). Afterwards, Kerry-Ann get into an example of her workflow for processing a deep sky astro image from pre processing (image stacking) to final post processing in Photoshop...... I have got to see this.
"After getting my first telescope at the age of 11 and then my first film camera as a teenager I was hooked on the concept of taking pictures of deep space. Ever since then I have strived to improve my skills in astrophotography and in the process have produced images that have won awards, been featured in calendars, magazines, books and online publications such as Sky News POW and NASA APOD. While enjoying this hobby, I have a full time career as a meteorologist and I love life with my husband and two girls".

(http://bit.ly/WUbLtN), and, since I am in charge of updating our Google+ content I thought, hey, with all that space, why not feature YOUR photos in that prime real estate?
Today, we are opening the door for your submissions. Each month, a panel of judges will pick one amazing photographer to feature on the @118357019708110162087 page to greet visitors. The winner will also be a judge in the next month's selection. You'll also receive a @118357019708110162087 hoodie and swag care package.
To help get this party started, we have changed our cover photo to
@112957708071337353347's amazing image, _"The Future Is Now"_, taken in Dubai,
UAE. Elia is also our special guest judge for the first month of this
cover photo hunt, and he can't wait to see the great images that we are
confident you will submit! So, enough talking…how do you enter?
*Sign up for the _SmugMug Cover Photo Submissions For April_ event.
*Click the "Add Photos" Button in the event, and upload your
submission. The new cover photos can be up to 2120px by 1192px, so please submit a photo with this minimum size requirement. Photos will be displayed in a 16:9 Aspect Ratio, so please make sure submissions as close to 16:9 as possible, so we don't lose any of the valuable image
*One Photo per person
*Take a look at all of the entries, and feel free to +1 and comment on
the photos that you are drawn too. Clicking on "Actions"--->"Show
Photo View" will display all of the photos in a beautiful gallery.
*After the contest closes on March 29th at 11:59PM PST, a panel of
judges, including +Elia Locardi, will select the winner, and the new
cover photo and winner announcement will be made on April 1st, 2013.
*Submissions will be judged on uniqueness, creativity, and overall "Wow" factor.
*Sign up for the May event, which will also be
open for submissions on April 1st.
*You do not need to be a @118357019708110162087 customer to enter, so please share
with your fellow photographers.
That's it! So let's see it Google+. Will your photo be the next
@118357019708110162087 cover photo?

_"The Meydan Bridge is a VIP entrance to the Meydan Racecourse, a mega structure in Dubai that is able to accommodate over 60,000 spectators in a 1 mile long grandstand. It was a strange feeling actually – to be standing on this opulent mega structure in the middle of the desert, miles away from the city, and with nobody around. Half the lights were dead too. I guess after Tom Cruise was finished driving over it in Mission Impossible 3, they really didn’t have a need to maintain it anymore. :)"_

Photographers @104355888553035365377 and @118390125072182346579 have built a thriving business for their StuStuStudio. Their activity on social media sites, including Google+. has played a big role in the growth of the studio over the past couple of years. Mike and Nicole will be joining us to share their success story and tell us how they used social media to promote their business.
Many photographers who are getting into social media have questions about whether they should share their photos over social media sites. Is the risk of people using their photos without purchasing them worth the wide audience potential? Does it devalue their beautiful work?
These are some of the topics that will be discussed as Mike and Nicole take us along on their journey to success!

Please accept my apologies if your one of the few that got hit by a bug in their system!
This is my first event and for some reason Google notified some people 20 times and for some their system was planning on doing that within their calendars for the next 5 years...every single day...20 times a day...how it did or why it would set peoples calendars up to be notified 20 times a day...I don't know.
Hopefully they've got it corrected, if not please let me know.
I know I wanted to help peoples wishes come true but not in that way,
The goal of this event my Birthday is give you as many of my Birthday Wishes as you require...why because you deserve it.
My wish is here is to connect you to the thoughts/ the energy of thousands of people around the world all making a Birthday Wish for themselves from the heart... to you.
I like to Imagine the energy from all those making a wish and the energy coming from the ones that come true(the smiles..the laughter..the tears...the overflowing of pure joy) being connected to you to power your own wish to come true.
Thanks to some theories about Quantum Physics there's no space between you or me or them...topped with the fact they tell us energy is never destroyed, it's gotta go somewhere as each new person joins in, so why not to you to empower your wish to come true sooner rather than later.
Imagine being connected to thousands....millions of others all making wishes...all hoping that your wish comes true for it will help empower their wish.
They've documented several cases of where positive thoughts have made a difference, so why not around someones birthday who can then share it with everyone whose connected to that person...so me for this event.
It's never been done before, so why not now....be part of it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain as we go day by day, year by year building this community of wish granters.
Now think of an image that represents your wish and then take2seconds to think of that image at least once a day until it comes true.
Have fun with it, there's no right or wrong way when you come from the heart.
Please let us know as each wish comes true...yes each wish...there's no law that says you're only granted one wish...you deserve everyone of them when they come from the heart..when that wish fills you with the passion for life...
*****UPDATE at first I was focused on getting as many people as possible for this so that everyone had more energy but now after reading your comments..hearing your passion for life...the numbers have gone completely out the window for each one of you have brought your own unique energy to the equation that's priceless....THANK YOU
In my world Birthday wishes can be made everyday of the year because it's a celebration everyday that your here to share this with.
So today I Celebrate being 44 and 1 day old.

Update to fix Google Bug for "It's My Birthday and my wish is for your wishes to come true!!"

Hand Picked Photographers Circles - Canon Camera S - 11 of 30Note: These circles are sorted by camera type and last name. They are split to not exceed 200 members. These circles are photographers that I admire. They have "more photos, less spam." There have been many additions and a few drops (mostly for spam or inactivity). Be sure to get all of the circles. Share! If you miss any of the circles they can be found at: +Gailen Mapes and scroll back to February 1st for the start of this set. (Previous complete set was published starting January 1st.) You can also use the #handpickedcircles hash tag and sort by "recent."I am hard up against the 5000 limit. From here on, I am going to have to become rather more strict about the "spam rules." Essentially if I have to go back more than a screen on your profile before I hit original material, there is a good chance that I may drop you from the circles. Of course there will be mitigating factors...Because of the way that Google no longer presents every person who adds me to their circles to me it is quite possible that I have missed some pretty good photographers. If I am following you, chances are that you are already in one of these circles or in my "check later" circle. If you think you have been missed, tag a comment on one of these posts and I will check your profile out for inclusion. Guidelines for inclusion can be found at: https://plus.google.com/u/0/103752943025677384806/about#circleshare #circlesharing #circleoftheday #sharedcircles #sharedcircle #sharedpubliccircles #fullcircleshare #addmetoyourcircles #bestsharedcircle #thebestcirclesongoogle #thebestcircle #handpickedcirclesNote: the hash tag #handpickedcircles should only be used to refer to these circles and other circles created by +Gailen Mapes .

Hand Picked Photographers Circles - Canon Camera S - 11 of 31Note: These circles are sorted by camera type and last name. They are split to not exceed 200 members. These circles are photographers that I admire. They have "more photos, less spam." There have been many additions and a few drops (mostly for spam or inactivity). Be sure to get all of the circles. Share! If you miss any of the circles they can be found at: +Gailen Mapes and scroll back to January 1st for the start of this set. (Previous complete set was published starting December 1st.) You can also use the #handpickedcircles hash tag and sort by "recent."I am hard up against the 5000 limit. From here on, I am going to have to become rather more strict about the "spam rules." Essentially if I have to go back more than a screen on your profile before I hit original material, there is a good chance that I may drop you from the circles. Of course there will be mitigating factors...Because of the way that Google no longer presents every person who adds me to their circles to me it is quite possible that I have missed some pretty good photographers. If I am following you, chances are that you are already in one of these circles or in my "check later" circle. If you think you have been missed, tag a comment on one of these posts and I will check your profile out for inclusion. Guidelines for inclusion can be found at: https://plus.google.com/u/0/103752943025677384806/about#circleshare #circlesharing #circleoftheday #sharedcircles #sharedcircle #sharedpubliccircles #fullcircleshare #addmetoyourcircles #bestsharedcircle #thebestcirclesongoogle #thebestcircle #handpickedcirclesNote: the hash tag #handpickedcircles should only be used to refer to these circles and other circles created by +Gailen Mapes .

It's Roar Awoke the SunNiagara FallsTaken 2/20/2015I took 2 days off work last week and we went to an indoor waterpark in Niagara Falls, ON. On Friday morning I planned on getting up to shoot the sunrise right at the edge of the Horseshoe Falls. Thursday was unbelievably cold out so I wondered about wether I'd actually be able to handle the elements for more than a few minutes with nothing between me and some of the coldest breath Mother Nature had to offer! Well I decided it was not an option to pass up on this rare opportunity so I set the alarm! When I got to the van it showed -8 as the current temp. I shivered while it warmed and suddenly realized I had a problem. Being the non plan-ahead type I didn't have my gloves... They were in the hotel room with the sleeping family. I'll be fine I said. Well, the wind chill was around -38 and let's just say ... more »

Well, the wind chill was around -38 and let's just say my hands still burn a little under hot water from the slight frostbite. Never again will I make that mistake. I probably could have stayed another 10 minutes otherwise. That being said I got a bunch of cool shots to share since while I was doing these long exposures I had my wife's camera (better than mine).This is a 51 second exposure with ISO400 24mm f/8.0 using a B+W 10 stop ND filter. The ND filter was put on in the car since I knew it would be too cold to screw it on. This meant I couldn't auto focus or see anything to manually focus, but luckily infinity worked great.Hope you like! #niagarafalls #niagarafallsfrozen #polarvortex #longexposure #cold #winter #waterfall Processed using Lightroom 5 + +Nik Collection by Google's Color Efex #nikcollection ﻿___

I have been doing a lot of thinking about how my main stream no longer shows everyone, or even a few and their newest posts, about how my own posts get increasingly smaller interaction, and how if my posts are doing that, then everyone's are. I think the algorithm that governs what we see and what others see of our own stuff has gotten too restrictive. And it frustrates me to no end - especially when I have 100 new posts in my stream and most are either 24 hours old, something I have already seen (and plussed or commented) or both. Fresh isn't happening anymore and it is FRUSTRATING.

I don't normally notify anyone of my posts but for this, I am (and I am not even sure how many will get the notification - over 3500 in my circles). What I am proposing is an experiment of sorts. To all of those that comment on this post, I will go to your stream and plus the heck out of you, comment as much as possible, and over the next week, share a few my favorite posts. Here is the catch - you have to share this post or something similar, calling your own circles to action.

Let's see if we can shake up the algorithm a bit. Let's see if we can take back control of our streams LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE. Let's see if our streams start showing our favorite people again. A week from now, I will make a new post so I can see if my stream has changed... hopefully, mine will and so will yours.

I feel like I haven't shared a circle in forever.This is a cool one to check out from +Grant Stringer
